Hi all

I have about 50 spare picos from a project a few years back. I may as well use them. They are screenprinted with "Rasberry Pi Pico C 2020".

I ran Clear_Flash.uf2 across a couple, then flashed in the latest V6 OS. When I went to autosave my program, every 128th or so byte was dropping out (I have had this issue before).

Ran Clear_Flash again and same with V5.08.

However, V5.07.01 loads in and seems to work just fine.

Same behaviour on both Picos.

Webmite baudrate 230400 although halving this created same outcomes.

For now I am sticking with 5.07 however I thought I would flag it up. Anyone else with the same problem?

Cheers
Jo

The issue could be a buffer overflow.
In your terminal program settings add a 5mS line delay (leave the character delay at 0) and see if that helps.
